Maryland-Virginia lacrosse moved to Scott Stadium

Well, this should be a treat: For the first time in 16 years, Virginia will play a lacrosse game at Scott Stadium.

And it will be against Maryland.

And it will be played just before the annual spring football game (a neat move, even if several hundred miles away, Ohio State fans roll their eyes at the creativity involved with this decision).

So that should be a fun day in Charlottesville. It might be safe to begin planning a return trip to Boylan Heights that weekend, too.

While Virginia hasn't played a lacrosse game in Scott Stadium since 1995 --- basically, before a natural grass surface replaced the old turf --- there was a lightly attended NCAA quarterfinal doubleheader there in 2004.

Poorly attended, of course, because the home team wasn't in it. Don't believe they've bid for one since...
